Yoshioka Finds a Much Needed Quadruple Up

Livello 17 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

As the very short stack at the table, Shigeho Yoshioka got his stack all in and called by three other players before seeing a K♥4♦8♥ flop. Two players checked to the button who bet, prompting both players to fold. Yoshioka and his opponent turned their cards on their backs before the dealer completed the board.

Shigeho Yoshioka: K♣K♦
Button: 8♣8♦

In a set over set situation, Yoshioka's opponent had only one out and the 3♥ turn and 2♣ river didn't produce it, sending the pot to Yoshioka for a full quadruple up.

Dockal’s Chip Stack Surges With Two Knockout Wins

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 17 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Paul Dockal enjoyed a profitable pair of hands within minutes of each other, scoring knockouts on both.

On the first hand, Dockal defended his big blind after Galen Novello raised in early position. The flop produced J♠8♦8♥, and Dockal bet into Novello, who called. The turn brought the 5♥ and Dockal once again bet, which prompted Novello to make an all-in bet as a short stack. Dockal quickly called and tabled 8♠7♠ to show trips, as Novello turned over J♥10♦ for top pair. The river brought a blank, and the dealer pushed the pot to Dockal.

A few hands later, Dockal scored another knockout when he stacked Michael Bennett.

“You’re the terminator,” a player at the table said to Dockal.

The two wins saw Dockal’s stack swell from a Day 2 start of 64,500 to a current 189,000.

Bishow Stays Alive With Double Up Through Zhu

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 17 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Short-stacked to start Day 1, Paul Bishow was looking for an opportunity to double up. He found it from the small blind, and raised $4,000 of his dwindling stack. The double up would be difficult, though, as the big blind was Yueqi Zhu, winner of one WSOP bracelet, 160 WSOP cashes for $3,238,023, and third place in last year's event.

Zhu called, and they took a flop of A♣Q♣8♣. Bishow check raised and Zhu called. When the turn came Q♦, Bishow bet all in, and Zhu matched the bet.

Bishow 4♣3♣
Zhu 5♠9♣

To complete the underdog double up Bishow would need to dodge another club, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he spiked the 2♥ on the river.
